By rotating the disk 43 (performing a scraping operation), the powder in the annular groove 21a of the rotary table 21 is scraped out by the scraping blade 44 that rotates together with the rotating disk 43 and supplied to the packaging device 50. It is configured. The powder powder scraped by the scraping blade 44 is supplied from the chute 47 to the packaging device 50.

掻き出し装置４０は、１包分ずつ、前記環溝から目的量の散薬を掻き出して包装装置に供給する。掻き出し装置４０による１包分の散薬の掻き出しが完了した後、次の１包分の散薬の掻き出しは、掻き出し装置本体４１によってアーム４２を回転させて環溝２１ａから回転ユニット４６を上昇させた状態で、テーブル回転機構２２によって分割用回転テーブル２１を回転させ、次いで、掻き出し装置本体４１によってアーム４２を回転させて回転ユニット４６を環溝２１ａ内における散薬が堆積されている箇所に降ろし、回転ユニット４６を回転させることで行う。
この分包機１０における環溝２１ａに堆積された散薬１の掻き出し装置４０による掻き出しは、該分包機１０全体の駆動を制御する制御部（図示略）によって行われる。環溝２１ａに堆積された散薬１の掻き出し装置４０による掻き出しは、前記環溝２１ａに堆積された散薬１を前記環溝２１ａの延在方向（周方向）に１包分ずつ分割した複数の区画（仮想区画）について順次行われる。 The scraping device 40 scrapes a target amount of powder from the annular groove one by one and supplies it to the packaging device. After the scraping device 40 completes scraping of one powder, the scraping device body 41 rotates the arm 42 by the scraping device main body 41 to raise the rotating unit 46 from the annular groove 21a. Then, the rotary table 21 for division is rotated by the table rotating mechanism 22, and then the arm 42 is rotated by the scraping device main body 41 to lower the rotary unit 46 to the place where the powder is deposited in the annular groove 21a. This is done by rotating 46.
The scraping device 40 scraping the powder 1 accumulated in the annular groove 21a in the packaging machine 10 is performed by a control unit (not shown) that controls driving of the packaging machine 10 as a whole. The scraping device 40 scraping the powder 1 deposited in the ring groove 21a is divided into a plurality of sections obtained by dividing the powder 1 deposited in the ring groove 21a by one package in the extending direction (circumferential direction) of the ring groove 21a.

The scraping device 40 moves the rotating unit 46 by the rotation of the arm 42 so that the rotating unit 46 is lowered from above the annular groove 21a and installed in the annular groove 21a. It is possible to retreat to a position sufficiently separated from the annular groove 21a so as not to contact the powder in 21a.

回転ディスク４３は、前記アーム４２に回転テーブル２１に対して垂直の向きで取り付けられている。前記掻き出し用ブレード４４は、前記回転ディスク４３の片面にその中央部から回転ディスク４３の外周にわたって延在するようにして固定されている。前記分割用仕切板４５は扇形に形成された板状部材であって、前記掻き出し用ブレード４４の前記回転ディスク４３とは反対側に前記回転ディスク４２と平行の向きで固定されている。この分割用仕切板４５は、前記掻き出し動作の際に環溝２１ａ内の散薬が該分割用仕切板４５を介して前記回転ディスク４３とは反対側から当該分割用仕切板４５と回転ディスク４３との間の空間に入り込むことを防止するために設けられる。 The rotary disk 43 is attached to the arm 42 in a direction perpendicular to the rotary table 21. The scraping blade 44 is fixed to one surface of the rotating disk 43 so as to extend from the center thereof to the outer periphery of the rotating disk 43. The dividing partition plate 45 is a fan-shaped plate-like member, and is fixed on the side of the scraping blade 44 opposite to the rotating disk 43 in a direction parallel to the rotating disk 42. The partitioning plate 45 is divided into the partitioning plate 45 and the rotating disk 43 from the side opposite to the rotating disk 43 through the partitioning partition plate 45 so that the powder in the annular groove 21a is removed during the scraping operation. It is provided in order to prevent entry into the space between.

次に、クリーナー装置５０を説明する。
図１、図３、図４に示すように、クリーナー装置５０は、分包機１０に設けられている吸引装置７０から延びるホース７１の先端が接続された清掃ユニット５１０と、この清掃ユニット５１０の前記分割用回転テーブル２１へのその上方からの押し付け及び前記分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けた前記清掃ユニット５１０の前記分割用回転テーブル２１から上方への移動（待避）を行うための清掃ユニット移動機構５２０（以下、単に、ユニット移動機構とも言う）とを具備して構成されている。 Next, the cleaner device 50 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the cleaner device 50 includes a cleaning unit 510 to which a tip of a hose 71 extending from a suction device 70 provided in the packaging machine 10 is connected, and the cleaning unit 510. A cleaning unit moving mechanism 520 for pressing the dividing rotary table 21 from above and moving the cleaning unit 510 pressed against the dividing rotary table 21 upward (retracted) from the dividing rotary table 21. (Hereinafter, also simply referred to as a unit moving mechanism).

このクリーナー装置５０は、例えば、環溝２１ａに堆積された散薬の掻き出し装置４０による掻き出しを順次行っていく際の分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向（図１中、矢印Ｇ）において、前記環溝２１ａの掻き出し装置４０による散薬の掻き出しが完了した空の部位が移動してくる位置（すなわち、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向において掻き出し装置４０から下流側）に配置されており、前記環溝２１ａの掻き出し装置４０による散薬の掻き出しが完了した空の部位を清掃する。この場合、クリーナー装置５０による環溝内２１ａの清掃中にも、掻き出し装置４０による散薬の掻き出し動作を行うことができるため、環溝２１ａへの散薬の撒布から分包装置による散薬の分包までの動作時間を短縮できるという利点がある。
クリーナー装置５０の駆動は、この分包機１０全体の駆動を制御する制御部（図示略）によって制御される。
また、この分包機１０にあっては、例えば、環溝２１ａに堆積された全ての散薬の掻き出し装置４０による掻き出しを完了した後、次の撒布動作に移行する前に、クリーナー装置５０による環溝２１ａ内を清掃する構成になっていても良い。 For example, the cleaner device 50 has the ring groove in the rotating direction of the dividing rotary table 21 (arrow G in FIG. 1) when the powdered powder scraping device 40 is sequentially scraped out of the ring groove 21a. 21a is disposed at a position where the empty portion where the powdering by the scraping device 40 has been completed is moved (that is, downstream from the scraping device 40 in the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21), and the annular groove 21a The empty site where the scraping of the powder by the scraping device 40 is completed is cleaned. In this case, since the scraping operation of the powder by the scraping device 40 can be performed even during the cleaning of the ring groove 21a by the cleaner device 50, from the powder spraying to the ring groove 21a to the powder packing by the packing device. There is an advantage that the operation time can be shortened.
The driving of the cleaner device 50 is controlled by a control unit (not shown) that controls the driving of the entire packaging machine 10.
Moreover, in this packaging machine 10, for example, after completing the scraping by the scraping device 40 of all the powder deposited in the annular groove 21a, before moving to the next distributing operation, the annular groove by the cleaner device 50 is used.

また、このクリーナー装置５０は、図４の仮想線に示すように、前記ユニット移動機構５２０の駆動（具体的には前記モータ５２１の駆動）によって、前記分割用回転テーブル２１の前記環溝２１ａ付近に押し付けられた状態の清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１から上昇させて、分割用回転テーブル２１に接触しない位置に待避させることができる。図４中において仮想線で示す清掃ユニット５１０の位置が待避位置である。 Further, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4, the cleaner device 50 is driven by the unit moving mechanism 520 (specifically, by driving the motor 521) in the vicinity of the annular groove 21 a of the dividing rotary table 21. The cleaning unit 510 in a state of being pressed against the rotating table 21 can be lifted from the dividing rotary table 21 and retracted to a position where it does not contact the dividing rotary table 21. The position of the cleaning unit 510 indicated by the phantom line in FIG. 4 is the retracted position.

図３に示すように、前記ユニット移動機構５２０は、一対のブラケット５２３、５２４によって軸回り回転自在に支持された前記シャフト５２５を、前記モータ５２１からギアボックス５２２を介して伝達される回転駆動力によって回転させるようになっている。
前記シャフト５２２に固定された前記回転アーム５２６は、互いに離隔して設けられた一対のブラケット５２３、５２４の間に設けられている。
また、図中符号５２１ａは前記モータ５２１の駆動軸５２１ａである。前記ギアボックス５２２には、駆動軸５２１ａの先端及び前記シャフト５２２の片端が挿入されており、モータ５２１の回転駆動力はギアボックス５２２を介して前記駆動軸５２１ａから前記シャフト５２２へ伝達される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the unit moving mechanism 520 is configured such that a rotational driving force transmitted from the motor 521 via a gear box 522 is transmitted to the shaft 525 that is rotatably supported by a pair of brackets 523 and 524. It is designed to rotate.
The rotating arm 526 fixed to the shaft 522 is provided between a pair of brackets 523 and 524 that are provided apart from each other.
Reference numeral 521a in the figure denotes a drive shaft 521a of the motor 521. The gear box 522 is inserted with the tip of the drive shaft 521 a and one end of the shaft 522, and the rotational driving force of the motor 521 is transmitted from the drive shaft 521 a to the shaft 522 via the gear box 522.

図６に示すように、前記清掃ユニット５１０は、一対の弾性板５１２のうち、前記分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向（図１の矢印Ｇ）に対して前側に位置する弾性板５１２ａの前記ベース部材５１１からの突出寸法が、前記分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記ベース部材５１１からの突出寸法に比べて短くなっている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning unit 510 includes the base of the elastic plate 512 a located on the front side of the pair of elastic plates 512 with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 (arrow G in FIG. 1). The protruding dimension from the member 511 is shorter than the protruding dimension from the base member 511 of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21.

このため、このクリーナー装置５０は、図４に示すように前記清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けた状態としたとき、図６に示すように、前記清掃ユニットを前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂに押し付ける際に前記一対の弾性板５１２のうち前記分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記挿入片部５１２ｃの円弧状外周（円弧状突出部５１２ｇ）のみが前記環溝２１ａ内面に接し、前記分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側に位置する弾性板５１２ａの挿入片部５１２ｃが前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂから離隔して配置されるようになっている。図６に示すように、前記弾性板５１２ａの挿入片部５１２ｃの円弧状突出部５１２ｇ（円弧状外周）と前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂとの間には離隔距離Δｔが確保される。
分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記挿入片部５１２ｃの円弧状外周（円弧状突出部５１２ｇ）は、前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂに対して環溝２１ａの溝幅方向（図４において左右方向）全体にわたって隙間無く接触する。 Therefore, when the cleaner unit 50 is in a state of pressing the cleaning unit 510 against the dividing rotary table 21 as shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 6, the cleaner unit 50 is attached to the inner surface of the annular groove 21a. An arcuate outer periphery (arc-shaped protruding portion 512g) of the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side of the pair of elastic plates 512 with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 when pressed against 21b. Only the ring groove 21a is in contact with the inner surface of the ring groove 21a, and the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512a located on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 is disposed away from the inner surface 21b of the ring groove 21a. It has become. As shown in FIG. 6, a separation distance Δt is ensured between the arc-shaped protrusion 512g (arc-shaped outer periphery) of the insertion piece 512c of the elastic plate 512a and the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a.
The arc-shaped outer periphery (arc-shaped protruding portion 512g) of the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 is an annular groove with respect to the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a. Contact is made across the entire groove width direction of 21a (left and right direction in FIG. 4).

このため、このクリーナー装置５０にあっては、図４に示すように前記清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けた状態としたとき、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転に伴い、前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂへの付着等によって残留する散薬の多くが、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側に位置する弾性板５１２ａの挿入片部５１２ｃによって掻き取られずに、一対の弾性板５１２の円弧状突出部５１２ｇの間に搬送されてくることになり、この残留散薬が、一対の弾性板５１２及び弾性板支持部材５１３によって囲まれる内側の吸引空間に吸引装置７０から作用する吸引力によって回収され、環溝２１ａ内を効率良く清掃できる。
本発明は、一対の弾性板の両方の挿入片部が前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂに対して環溝２１ａの溝幅方向（図４において左右方向）全体にわたって隙間無く接触する構成も採用可能であるが、上述のように、一対の弾性板５１２のうち、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記挿入片部５１２ｃのみが前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂに接する構成の方が、吸引装置７０の吸引力による吸引空間から吸引装置７０への散薬の回収を効率良く行う点では有利である。 For this reason, in the cleaner device 50, when the cleaning unit 510 is pressed against the dividing rotary table 21, as shown in FIG. Most of the powder that remains due to adhesion to the inner surface 21b of the pair of elastic plates 512 is not scraped off by the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512a located on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21. The residual powder is collected by the suction force acting from the suction device 70 on the inner suction space surrounded by the pair of elastic plates 512 and the elastic plate support member 513. Thus, the inside of the annular groove 21a can be efficiently cleaned.
The present invention can also employ a configuration in which both insertion pieces of the pair of elastic plates are in contact with the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a over the entire groove width direction of the annular groove 21a (left and right direction in FIG. 4) without any gap. As described above, of the pair of elastic plates 512, only the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 is the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a. The configuration in contact with is more advantageous in that the powder is efficiently collected from the suction space by the suction force of the suction device 70 to the suction device 70.

また、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記挿入片部５１２ｃの円弧状外周（円弧状突出部５１２ｇ）は、環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂから散薬を掻き取る機能を果たす。この弾性板５１２ｂの前記挿入片部５１２ｃによって環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂから掻き取られた散薬も、前記吸引空間に吸引装置７０から作用する吸引力によって回収される。これにより、環溝２１ａ内の清掃を確実に行うことができる。 Further, the arc-shaped outer periphery (arc-shaped projecting portion 512g) of the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 scrapes the powder from the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a. Fulfills the function to take. The powder scraped off from the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a by the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512b is also recovered by the suction force acting on the suction space from the suction device 70. Thereby, the inside of the annular groove 21a can be reliably cleaned.

また、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側の前記弾性板５１２ａの挿入片部５１２ｃの円弧状突出部５１２ｇ（円弧状外周）と前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂとの間のクリアランスから、環溝２１ａ内に作用させた吸引力によっても環溝２１ａ内の残留散薬を回収できる。 Further, from the clearance between the arcuate protruding portion 512g (circular arc outer periphery) of the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512a on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21, and the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a, The residual powder in the annular groove 21a can also be recovered by the suction force applied in the annular groove 21a.

また、図４に示すように前記清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けた状態としたときには、清掃ユニット５１０の一対の弾性板５１２の張出部５１２ｄは、分割用回転テーブル２１の前記環溝２１ａからその内周側に位置する上面２１ｄ（以下、テーブル上面とも言う）上に配置される。
一対の弾性板５１２の張出部５１２ｄについても円弧状突出部５１２ｇと同様に、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの張出部５１２ｄの延長突出部５１２ｉのみがテーブル上面２１ｄに接し、前記分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側に位置する弾性板５１２ａの延長突出部５１２ｉは前記環溝２１ａの内面２１ｂから離隔して配置される。 As shown in FIG. 4, when the cleaning unit 510 is pressed against the dividing rotary table 21, the overhanging portions 512 d of the pair of elastic plates 512 of the cleaning unit 510 are connected to the ring of the dividing rotary table 21. It arrange | positions on the upper surface 21d (henceforth a table upper surface) located in the inner peripheral side from the groove | channel 21a.
Similarly to the arcuate protruding portion 512g, the extending portion 512d of the pair of elastic plates 512 is also an extended protruding portion 512i of the protruding portion 512d of the elastic plate 512b positioned on the rear side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21. Only the extended projection 512i of the elastic plate 512a that is in contact with the table upper surface 21d and located on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 is disposed away from the inner surface 21b of the annular groove 21a.

このため、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転に伴い、テーブル上面２１ｄ上に存在する散薬の多くが、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側に位置する弾性板５１２ａの延長突出部５１２ｉによって掻き落とされずに、一対の弾性板５１２の延長突出部５１２ｉの間に搬送されてくることになり、この散薬を前記吸引空間に吸引装置７０から作用する吸引力によって回収することができる。これにより、このクリーナー装置５０によれば、テーブル上面２１ｄの清掃も効率良く行える。
本発明は、一対の弾性板の両方の延長突出部がテーブル上面２１ｄに接触する構成も採用可能であるが、上述のように、一対の弾性板５１２のうち、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して後側に位置する弾性板５１２ｂの前記延長突出部５１２ｉのみが前記テーブル上面２１ｄに接する構成の方が、吸引装置７０の吸引力による吸引空間から吸引装置７０への散薬の回収を効率良く行う点では有利である。 For this reason, along with the rotation of the dividing rotary table 21, most of the powder existing on the table upper surface 21d is scraped by the extended protrusions 512i of the elastic plate 512a located on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21. Without being dropped, it is transported between the extended protrusions 512i of the pair of elastic plates 512, and this powder can be collected by the suction force acting on the suction space from the suction device 70. Thereby, according to this cleaner apparatus 50, cleaning of the table upper surface 21d can also be performed efficiently.
Although the present invention can adopt a configuration in which both extended protrusions of the pair of elastic plates are in contact with the table upper surface 21d, as described above, of the pair of elastic plates 512, the rotation direction of the split rotary table 21 In contrast, the configuration in which only the extended protrusion 512i of the elastic plate 512b located on the rear side contacts the table upper surface 21d is more efficient in collecting powder from the suction space to the suction device 70 by the suction force of the suction device 70. It is advantageous in terms of performing well.

また、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側の前記弾性板５１２ａの延長突出部５１２ｉとテーブル上面２１ｄとの間のクリアランスから作用させた吸引力によって、前記クリアランスを通過する直前の散薬も吸引、回収することが可能である。 Further, the powder just before passing through the clearance by the suction force applied from the clearance between the extended protrusion 512i of the elastic plate 512a on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 and the table upper surface 21d is also provided. Aspiration and recovery are possible.

図５に示すように、一対の弾性板５１２及び弾性板支持部材５１３によって囲まれる内側の吸引空間は、前記弾性板支持部材５１３の長手方向に沿う溝状になっているが、この吸引空間の長手方向両端には、弾性板支持部材５１３の背板部５１３ａの長手方向両端に突設（背板部５１３ａの押し付け側に突設）されている塞ぎ壁５１３ｅ、５１３ｆが配置されている。図４に示すように前記清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けた状態としたときには、弾性板支持部材５１３の先端側（支持部材張出部５１３ｇの側）の塞ぎ壁５１３ｅがテーブル上面２１ｄに当接され、弾性板支持部材５１３の基端側の塞ぎ壁５１３ｆが分割用回転テーブル２１の外周に当接されるようになっている。このため、吸引装置７０の吸引力を前記吸引空間を介して、分割用回転テーブル２１の回転方向に対して前側の前記弾性板５１２ａと分割用回転テーブル２１との間のクリアランスに集中的に作用させることができ、分割用回転テーブル２１上の散薬の回収、分割用回転テーブル２１上の清掃を効率良く行うことができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the inner suction space surrounded by the pair of elastic plates 512 and the elastic plate support member 513 has a groove shape along the longitudinal direction of the elastic plate support member 513. Closed walls 513e and 513f are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction and projecting at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the back plate portion 513a of the elastic plate support member 513 (projecting on the pressing side of the back plate portion 513a). As shown in FIG. 4, when the cleaning unit 510 is pressed against the dividing rotary table 21, the blocking wall 513e on the distal end side of the elastic plate support member 513 (the support member protruding portion 513g side) is the table upper surface 21d. The blocking wall 513f on the proximal end side of the elastic plate support member 513 is in contact with the outer periphery of the dividing rotary table 21. For this reason, the suction force of the suction device 70 concentrates on the clearance between the elastic plate 512a on the front side with respect to the rotation direction of the dividing rotary table 21 and the dividing rotary table 21 via the suction space. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently collect the powder on the dividing rotary table 21 and clean the dividing rotary table 21.

なお、ここで説明する前記弾性板支持部材５１３は合成樹脂製の一体成形品であるが、本発明に係る弾性板支持部材５１３は例えば金属製のものであっても良い。この弾性板支持部材５１３としては、弾性板５１２に比べて硬質の部材を採用する。 The elastic plate support member 513 described here is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin, but the elastic plate support member 513 according to the present invention may be made of metal, for example. As the elastic plate support member 513, a member that is harder than the elastic plate 512 is employed.

上述のクリーナー装置５０によれば、清掃ユニット５１０の一対の弾性板５１２の挿入片部５１２ｃを環溝２１ａに挿入して、前記清掃ユニット５１０を分割用回転テーブル２１に押し付けることで、清掃ユニット５１０にホース７１を介して接続した吸引装置７０の吸引力を利用して環溝２１ａ内の散薬１を効率良く回収でき、環溝２１ａ内を効率良く清掃できる。したがって、このクリーナー装置５０によれば、既述の従来技術のように回転ブラシを回転するためのモーターを備える必要が無く、小型化、低コスト化を容易に実現できる。
また、清掃ユニット５１０は構成が単純で済むため清掃が容易であり、前記回転ブラシを清掃することに比べて、清掃の手間を格段に軽減できる。しかも、前記清掃ユニット５１０は、分解、組み立てを簡単に行えるため、この点も清掃の労力軽減に有効に寄与することは言うまでも無い。 According to the above-described cleaner device 50, the insertion unit 512 c of the pair of elastic plates 512 of the cleaning unit 510 is inserted into the annular groove 21 a, and the cleaning unit 510 is pressed against the dividing rotary table 21. The powder 1 in the annular groove 21a can be efficiently collected by using the suction force of the suction device 70 connected to the hose 71, and the inside of the annular groove 21a can be efficiently cleaned. Therefore, according to this cleaner device 50, it is not necessary to provide a motor for rotating the rotating brush as in the above-described prior art, and it is possible to easily realize downsizing and cost reduction.
Further, the cleaning unit 510 has a simple configuration and is easy to clean, and can greatly reduce the cleaning effort compared to cleaning the rotating brush. Moreover, since the cleaning unit 510 can be easily disassembled and assembled, it goes without saying that this point also contributes effectively to reducing the labor of cleaning.

また、既述の従来技術のように回転ブラシによって環溝を清掃する構成の装置では、例えば環溝の延在方向に垂直の断面における環溝内面の湾曲がＵ字形の二次曲線を描くもの、正弦カーブになっているものなどの場合に、清掃を確実に行えないケースが発生しやすく、また、回転ブラシの回転半径の変更では対応できない。これに対して本発明に係るクリーナー装置であれば、適宜、弾性板を交換することで、様々な内面形状（断面形状）の環溝の清掃に容易に対応でき、高い汎用性が得られる。
また、回転ブラシによって環溝を清掃する構成の装置では、回転ブラシを環溝内に入れれば、テーブル上面２１ｄの清掃は困難であるが、本発明に係るクリーナー装置では、既述のように、張出部５１２ｄを具備する弾性板の使用によって、清掃ユニット５１０の弾性板５１２の挿入片部５１２ｃを環溝に入れて環溝内の清掃を行うと同時に、弾性板５１２の張出部５１２ｄによってテーブル上面２１ｄの清掃も行うことが可能である。 In addition, in the apparatus configured to clean the annular groove with the rotating brush as in the prior art described above, for example, the inner groove of the annular groove in a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the annular groove draws a U-shaped quadratic curve. In the case of a sine curve or the like, a case where cleaning cannot be performed reliably is likely to occur, and it cannot be handled by changing the rotation radius of the rotating brush. On the other hand, the cleaner device according to the present invention can easily cope with the cleaning of the annular grooves having various inner shapes (cross-sectional shapes) by appropriately replacing the elastic plate, and high versatility can be obtained.
In addition, in the apparatus configured to clean the annular groove with the rotating brush, it is difficult to clean the table upper surface 21d if the rotating brush is placed in the annular groove, but in the cleaner apparatus according to the present invention, as described above, By using the elastic plate provided with the overhanging portion 512d, the insertion piece portion 512c of the elastic plate 512 of the cleaning unit 510 is put into the ring groove to clean the inside of the ring groove, and at the same time by the overhanging portion 512d of the elastic plate 512. It is also possible to clean the table upper surface 21d.

（３）吸引空間は必ずしも溝状である必要はなく、例えば、吸引空間を、一対の弾性板の間隔方向における寸法が、ベース部材の長手方向に沿う方向の寸法よりも大きい形状とすることも可能である。但し、吸引空間は、ベース部材の長手方向に沿う細長の溝状である方が、その長手方向全長にわたって吸引装置の吸引力を確実に作用させることが容易になる点で有利である。
また、細長溝状の吸引空間を有する清掃ユニットは、吸引空間の長手方向を分割用回転テーブルの回転方向に直交する方向に配置することが好ましい。
